Inside the court, facing the judge's questioning, Gu Meiyan fell silent.

Today, she is no longer the rookie she was six years ago. She has a sufficient understanding of the dark side of the federal judiciary. She also knows that the forces behind this case are determined to end this case within the second trial at all costs.

.

Just because they currently have no witnesses does not mean that they will never be able to find witnesses. At least she knows that her employer is looking for them. If she can drag this case to the final trial, then there may be a turn for the better in this case.

It is precisely because of this that those people are so impatient to kill this extremely small variable in advance.

But she... As a lawyer, she has been able to do her best in her extremely limited aspects. It's really tiring...

Faced with Gu Meiyan's silence, many members of the plaintiff's jury showed reserved smiles, while a representative of the 13th Titan Military Region sitting in the back breathed a sigh of relief.

Time passed through the fingers, and the judges in the court expressed their utmost patience. Finally, the old judge who had previously asked Gu Meiyan to present evidence raised his head and glanced at Gu Meiyan, and confirmed again with some displeasure.

He said again: "Lawyer Gu, if you continue to remain silent, we can assume that you have not prepared a witness."

Gu Meiyan bit her withered lips and said with some difficulty: "Can you wait a little longer? We are preparing witnesses."

The old judge frowned at Gu Meiyan, knocked on the trial table again, and said displeasedly: "Lawyer Gu, please recognize your identity and stop unnecessary delay. This will undoubtedly only waste the time of everyone here.

Consuming more judicial costs. Since you have made an application for a temporary witness, please submit your witness statement as soon as possible, otherwise, this judge will regard you as giving up your right to defend this time and enter the next trial."

A trace of blood overflowed from Gu Meiyan's lips, but she was unable to say anything else. She turned her head and looked at Xu Qiusheng.

Because of his long period of imprisonment, Xu Qiusheng's hair had grown much longer and he looked a bit unkempt. In addition, he lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression. He seemed to have no intention of resisting his tragic fate.

But no one saw that Xu Qiusheng's fists were clenched so tightly that his nails pierced into his palms without even noticing.

He was unwilling to accept it, and he didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the old man had promised him on the phone but did nothing.

But he also knew that in this case, even if Old Man Xu came forward, nothing could be changed. No matter how high his prestige was in the military, he could not blatantly resist judicial procedures.

He is not afraid of death. What he is unwilling to accept is the old man's promise. Even if the old man cannot save him, as long as he sees that the old man has not forgotten him, he will be satisfied. If he can see Lan'er again before execution, then he will be considered dead.

No regrets.

He knew that even after he died, at least one fool would put a stick of incense on his grave every year, so there was no hope for that guy.

The courtroom was silent for a moment again. Looking at the two men who seemed to have given up resistance and had calm expressions, the old judge sighed and slowly raised his gavel, preparing to enter the final sentencing process.

The cold winter light shone down from the dome, making the straight passage in the courtroom look slightly dim.

But at this moment, a muffled bang touched everyone's nerves, and they all looked behind them.

I saw the heavy door of the court being pushed open, and golden sunlight poured in from behind the door. A straight figure slowly walked in along the slightly dim road. The leather boots made a clear sound on the floor.

If you step on the hearts of many people.

The figure got closer and closer, and her face became clearer and clearer. Gu Meiyan stood up, turned her head, and opened her mouth slightly.

Xu Qiusheng did not look back. He was very familiar with this footsteps. He clearly wanted to curse, but a bitter but gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The more than twenty Blackstone officers in the auditorium frowned when they saw the person coming. Among them, several officers who had seen Shi Chen's photo suddenly stood up, and the representative of the Titan Thirteenth Military Region flashed a hint of nervousness.

and a look of fear.

Suyecang Na, who was sitting at the front, also looked at the guy who showed his true face, her intact left eye slightly narrowed, her eyes a little complicated.

Even the federal people who were watching the verdict on TV or terminal screens were shocked and curious about this young man who broke into the court halfway.

The figure walked to the front of the court, walked to the side of the plaintiff Xu Qiusheng, pressed his left hand on the Six Laws Code beside the defendant's table, and in the strange absolute silence in the courtroom, said to the ten judges on the high platform:

"My name is Shi Chen. I was a student at Taitan University in District 13. I am a good friend of the plaintiff Xu Qiusheng and also a member of the United Nations.

A friend of Princess Alsalia. I testify that all the evidence given by Gu Meiyan is true. I personally saw Colonel Suye, who was the Governor of Titan at the time, leading a Blackstone mecha team to attack Al in the Thirteenth District of Titan.

Salia is persecuting, and I once again swear to the Six Laws of the Federation that everything I said before is true."

As Shi Chen's words came to light, the originally silent courtroom erupted into an uproar. The expressions of everyone in the courtroom suddenly became extremely exciting, especially those Black Stone soldiers who had seen Shi Chen before, and they showed disbelief.

They never thought that the boy who seemed to have disappeared from the world in District 13 would suddenly come to the capital star circle and come to the court...

What shocked and concerned them even more was that this guy actually claimed to be a friend of His Highness!

One of them knew that this person was a confidant whom their colonel had designated to be dealt with. He stood up emotionally, pointed at Shi Chen and said to the judge: "This person is a fugitive from the Titan Sector. Please ask the judge to order someone to deal with him immediately."

This person takes it."

As soon as these words came out, Lawyer Yuan, who was about to speak, suddenly wiped his forehead and scolded this man for his ignorance. With these words from this officer, wouldn't it directly prove this guy's identity and make his testimony less credible?

.

Suyecang Na also glanced at this impulsive subordinate, which made the officer feel cold and knew that he had made a fatal mistake.

Sure enough, Shi Chen suddenly laughed, glanced at the officer who spoke, and said: "According to Article 176 of Chapter 3 of the Federal Constitution, prisoners also have the right to testify in court."

A judge in the court looked at Shi Chen calmly, then looked at the Blackstone officer and asked, "What crime did this person in court commit in Titan?"

The Blackstone soldier suddenly froze, opened his mouth, glanced at Suyecang Na, and saw that she didn't show any expression, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "...back to your honor, the crime of assaulting the police."

Shi Chen sneered.

The reason why he dared to testify in court was because the other party did not dare to tell the whole story. After all, his identity as a Titan did not lead to any crime for which he was caught, and there was no evidence to prove that he was the one who robbed the War Apostle.

A criminal, and it was on that day that the Titan Police Department received an illegal arrest order from the Governor and arrested him.

The crime of assaulting a police officer is already the biggest label they can slap on their shoulders. Even if it is this crime, they may not dare to investigate it further. Otherwise, they will slap themselves and the federal government in the face again, causing the government's credibility to lose again.

One drop.

The judge nodded after hearing this and said: "According to Article 177 of Chapter 3 of the Federal Constitution, those who have not been deprived of political rights can still appear in court to testify."

However, after saying these words, neither Gu Meiyan nor Shi Chen had any intention.

Sure enough, after the judge finished speaking, he quickly flipped through the case file and asked Shi Chen: "Three days ago, an application for temporary witnesses was served, but today before the trial, there was also an application served. Why are there two applications?"

Applying."

"Because there is another witness on the way." Shi Chen said truthfully.
Chapter completed!
